Hollycroft, Thatcham, RG19

15 Hollycroft is a beautifully presented and generously proportioned family home of about 2600 sq ft, perfectly balancing space for entertaining and the demands of family life. The versatile layout on both the ground and first floors offers the new owner various options for configuring the home, with two of the reception rooms on the ground floor suitable as a dining room, family room, home office or playroom. The interiors are elegant and bright, with a mostly neutral colour scheme and character accents such as parquet flooring, and there is great scope for personalisation. The house has been subject to a number of alterations in recent years, including a loft conversion to create the principal bedroom, extending the driveway and adding electric gates and landscaping the rear garden.

The stylish accommodation is arranged over three floors, with an ideal layout for family life that promotes excellent flow and good natural light. The ground floor comprises a large reception room, open plan kitchen/dining room and adjoining laundry room – all of which have doors to access the outside, and two further reception rooms plus a cloakroom with WC. On the first floor there are two en suite double bedrooms, two further goodsize doubles and a family bathroom with both bath and shower. On the top floor there is an impressive principal suite with a fabulous en suite bathroom with shower and freestanding bath. All of the bedrooms are fitted with built-in storage.

Outside

The house is set within a generous plot of about one third of an acre, with the house positioned well back from the road behind a large and attractively landscaped front garden and gated gravel driveway, which provides extensive offstreet parking for several cars. The detached double garage affords further covered parking and the plot is well enclosed by mature greenery, making it very private. The rear garden faces west and is equally secluded, with well-maintained lawns enclosed by tall hedges and established trees offering a high degree of privacy. A paved patio adjoining the house has space for garden furniture, creating an inviting space for outdoor entertaining in the warmer months.
